Abstract
Scientific literature is often difficult for people to
understand, however the concepts researched and
discussed are important to build scientific
understanding among the public. Youth academic
journals, such as Frontiers for Young Minds, have
created an opportunity to share scientific research
with children in terminology they understand. For
this project, an article by Kindsvater et al. (2012)
was adapted and submitted to the journal Frontiers
for Young Minds to teach children between the ages
of 8 and 15 how maternal age and size affects
offspring size in Xiphophorus birchmanni .
The purpose of this project was to interact with
primary scientific literature and develop skills to
communicate scientific concepts to others.
